.对《I Want to Be a Mathematician》的笔记(2)

I'm not ready to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me. I'd like to write some more mathematics, to teach some more, and, who knows, even to prove a theorem. I'm going to try, that's for sure. I thought, I taught, I wrote, and I talked mathematics for fifty years, and I am glad I did. I wanted to be a mathematician. I still do.

先跳到最后一章，看到这段话真是非常感动。热爱必杰出。

What did you want to be when you were growing up? Did you always want to be just what you now are'? Not me. At 4 I wanted to be a carpenter, at 14 a pharmacist, at 16 a chemical engineer, and at 18 a philosopher. In between, and persistently ever since, I've flirted with the law.

人人都有中二的时候，笑。
